Story

We are raising money for Mind Charity and Cancer Research by doing a Tandem Skydive.

MIND:-Every year, one in four of us will experience a mental health problem. But hundreds of thousands of people are still struggling. Mind charity offer support services and a wealth of information for anyone who has a mental health problem and those who know someone who is struggling with mental health. Your money will help to provide local services such as support groups, talk therapy, art therapy and much more. Mind also run Elefriends which is a supportive online community where you can be yourself. We all know what it’s like to struggle sometimes, but now there’s a safe place to listen, share and be heard.

Cancer Research:-Cancer cases continue to rise, with around a third of a million peoplediagnosed every year in the UK. This figure is expected to increaseto more than 425,000 by 2030.

Today, half of the people diagnosedwith cancer in the UK will survive for 50% at least 10 years

Ten-year survival for many cancersis now above 75% – such as breast,skin and testicular cancer

Survival rates are still very low for somecancers such as pancreatic, lung,oesophageal and brain tumours. We’reincreasing our research on these cancers 15%to save more lives.

Cancer Research UK is the world’sleading cancer charity dedicatedto saving lives through research.Our ambition is to bring forwardthe day when all cancers arecured, and our new strategywill help us make this a reality.We want survival in the UK to beamong the best in the world.We’re focusing our efforts in fourkey areas – working to helpprevent cancer, diagnose it earlier,develop new treatments andoptimise current treatments bypersonalising them and makingthem even more effective.
